James McClean's minute's silence controversy, 'inbred' rant and fury at DMs to wife Wrexham star James McClean is a player who's never too far from the headlines.
McClean grew up on Derry's Creggan estate, the birthplace of many of the 14 people killed in the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre when British soldiers killed unarmed civilians during a protest.
It was a familiar tale in November as McClean made headlines after standing away from his team-mates during the minute's silence ahead of their 1-0 win over Mansfield Town.
The ex-Sunderland man was also involved in a car crash the day before one of Wrexham's biggest games of the season against Birmingham City but staged a miraculous recovery in time to start for the Red Dragons on Thursday night.
McClean was criticised in November for standing apart from his team-mates during a minute's silence ahead of Remembrance Day.
